Another floppy story I heard a while ago - A user inserted a disk into a 3.5" drive, but couldn't eject it. Turned out they had folded a 5.25" disk in half twice and crammed it in there. Seems a little far-fetched to me, but kinda funny.
In 2000 I was working in a cd-rom development department and gave a CD to a client services person to QC it.. he looked at his PC with a confused look on his face then proceeded to stick the CD into the space between the cd-rom drive and the cover for the empty bay beneath it
After the full version was released, when I try to play the demo, I get a message that says "A locked copy of L4D demo has already been installed on your computer. Purchase it now and start playing immediately!"
I bought the game, but I'm kind of disappointed in valve for doing that. They should just let people run their own demo servers. You'd think they'd want to keep the demo around to keep bringing in new players.
I hear ya... I used to repair all the Oce copiers at a university. The introduction in the Oce service manuals had kind of a funny statement.. something like "Our goal is not to produce a product that is free of service calls" basically, it went onto say the machines *should* break down every once in a while, but service calls should be fairly quick.
Of course everyone knows that parts/service is big business, but to see it stated in the manual like that was kind of funny.
Mexico too... At least in the areas I've visited (mainly in Guanajuato). If you leave the smallest gap in front of you in a line, someone will inevitably just walk up to the line and squeeze in.. And nobody really seems to mind. People down there generally aren't in much of a hurry to do anything it seems.
I thought it was because you actually have the nerve to flirt with women, unlike most guys on/. who can barely make eye contact, let alone flirt. I don't blame them.. girls are icky!
At the same time, it's no ordinary office space. Visitors say it's fully stocked with Microsoft technologies, including a Surface tabletop computer with a virtual guestbook application.

AMEN! uh, i mean.. RIGHT ON!
U.S. Shoots Downs Missile in Simulation of Long-Range Attack
I don't care how good the cause is.. Killing mentally challenged missiles for testing purposes is just wrong

Do your websites look something like this? http://www.martinsburgpd.org/
If so, I can understand your confusion.
Even IE has that. I'm assuming you've never used noscript
the water gets fabricked
so.. what if you get dirt on it?
sorry, but.. pebkac
you do realize you're the only person that has said anything about it being dirty?
the problem is that it uses three 1000W light bulbs worth of power
especially when rods are mentioned in the same sentence *teeheehee*
right after this photo was taken, they just switched positions

What's the disadvantages of the free trial?
It shows you what it can recover, then threatens to delete it all forever unless you pay for the software
Incidentally, that's the same sound a terabyte of porn makes when it disappears forever.
When did they hold the Special Olympics in Atlanta?
that was great!

Some of them are senior citizens who don't know what a game is
"Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy "games".. we played with dirt! and we liked it!"
I thought that statement sounded kind of strange too, but one of the definitions for translucent there is "clear; transparent"
Logging in and poking around is like seeing the open fly and reaching in to see what you can find on the other side.
Maybe we should just stick to car analogies. This one is starting to become quite weirdly uncomfortable.
